Pot-Growing School 'THC University' Opens In Denver

With
Colorado currently being the only state in the U.S. which legally
allows recreational marijuana users to grow their own plants (since the
passage of Amendment 64 by voters in November), a new cannabis
cultivation college has opened its doors.

THC University, founded by 24-year-old entrepreneur Matt Jones, aims to teach people how to grow marijuana at home, reports Nick McGurk of 9 News. Jones plans to offer the courses out of a classroom he's renting at Auraria Campus in Denver.

Jones
will offer an "Associate's," "Bachelor's" and "Master's" degree -- with
the latter two providing 24-hour assistance for aspiring cannabis
cultivators.

"Even
Obama said 'It would not make sense for us to see a top priority as
going after recreational users in states that have determined that it's
legal,' " Jones told Toke of the Town on Wednesday.So if the feds and states say recreational use is OK in Colorado, sounds like growing at home is the safest bet."

"Not
only is it the safest, it's the most economical," Jones said. "Imagine
spending as little as $100, for commercial $1,000+ amount of
marijuana. Growing at home is also a great hobby and you can perfect the
craft, growing your favorite bud just the way you like it," Jones said.

"You
don't know all the time, where it came from, what exactly you're
getting," Jones said. "So this is a great way to be able to choose, I
want my plants to be soil, I want it to be hydro, I want it to be
organic.

"So
right now, for marijuana smokers in Colorado it's tough; marijuana is
legal, they can smoke in their homes, but they can't buy it," Jones
said. "For those wanting to grow it, there are options available to
learn, like schools -- yes, weed school.

According
to Jones, there will be classes to train Coloradans how to successfully
grow at home, "and best of all, give you all the equipment needed to
get started, except the plants -- although those may come soon," he
said.

"The
goal is to help Coloradans interested in growing marijuana, learn how
to safely, and legally do so, in a fun, comforting and supporting
environment," Jones said.

"We
want it to be in the best education setting as possible, so most likely
classrooms rented out in colleges across Colorado," said THC University
cofounder Freedman Lafleur. "We plan on having weekly classes in
Colorado Springs, Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins."

"So
far in Colorado, there are no immediate signs that every resident will
have a marijuana plant in their home," Jones said. "Home Depot isn't
running out of gardening supplies due to the extreme demand; Xcel hasn't
had to complain about grow lights taking up energy on the grid, and
there isn't a haze of marijuana smell lingering across the state.

"No,
not your average Coloradan will be growing marijuana," Jones said, "but
for the smokers wanting to save money, never run out, and have lots of
friends, growing at home is the best option."
